$115 Billion In Total Aid For Ukraine Is Possible
19FortyFive ^ | 10/25/2022 | Harrison Kass

Kevin McCarthy, the House Republican Leader, spoke plainly about what a GOP House majority would mean for Ukraine aid: Republicans are “not going to write a blank check to Ukraine.”

So as the window to distribute aid to Ukraine potentially closes, members of Congress are hoping to attach a chunk of Ukraine aid to a lame-duck session government funding bill. The size of the new Ukraine aid package is $50 billion – a massive increase over last month’s $12 billion package, and a 77% increase in the amount of total aid – $65 billion – so far sent to Ukraine. The extra $50 billion is intended “to make sure [Ukraine] can get through the year,” a Republican senator told NBC. “It’ll make the $12 billion look like pocket change.”

If the new aid package passes, the aid sent to Ukraine this year will total a value of $115 billion.

We are beating ourselves into global submission. Agenda 21.

We have told the Russians: We have a printing press, and we’re not afraid to use it!

Incorrect. We, the taxpayers, will be paying for rebuilding everything. A trillion or more.

Even if the Democrats lose, they win with McCarthy.

There had better be a plan in place to show this RINO the door.

We are at about $450 million per day

That’s approaching the burn rate of $$$ during the height of Iraq/Afghanistan

Just print more money. Then everyone will have lots of money to spend. A Democrat told me that’s how it works (and I am not kidding).

The old military adage used to be “You break it, you buy it.” meaning if the US goes to war with a country, we are responsible for rebuilding it. Apparently, the new adage is “If Russia breaks it, we buy it...”

C’mon. Make it a trillion. When you don’t have the money you just print it. It does cost much to print … actually it’s done digitally, so it costs the same no matter what the amount is.

That’s more than we have given Israel (under Camp David Accords) in the past 40 years.

Yesterday, McCarthy said if Republicans capture the House, he will NOT impeach Biden or AG Merrick Garland or FBI Director Chris Wray.

McCarthy is surrendering to the Democrats before we even win the election!

This is blatant Money Laundering on a grand scale.

Deep pockets on both sides of the Atlantic are being filled.

It is, and the pile of financial lies we've been fed from literally a week after our birth is breathtaking.

See Grace Commission. Be aware of what the IRS does with 1040 "taxes". Be aware of who runs and owns the FED, and how it was created.

Be aware of the Deep State's use of the ubiquitous Birth Certificate and its SS/CUSIP numbers.

That is an insane amount of money. All of which is being created as debt for the USA. That is about 1/3 of US corporate income taxes receipts in a year.

Why not make it a thousand Trillion? Biden and Soros could use the money. They will end up with 99 and 44/100% of it. If you are going to go , go first class.

It will not be enough. They are going to ask for and get much more from the man who runs this country.

How much more is needed to keep Ukraine quiet? 200 billion? Will they be satisfied then? How much more to keep Ukraine from revealing what they have on biden?

This is absurd. Not only that, we do not see a spending report so we can see where and how this money is being spent.

This is outright theft of taxpayer dollars.
